Downtown Transit Center is a station along Amtrak's I-41 Thruway bus line in the downtown of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The station is also the main hub for Go Transit, the main transit system of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This is a different Go Transit than the one of Toronto, Ontario.   Very little about the history of this station is known, past that it was rebuilt in 1994, and that an office was built in 2018 or so.  Services Back of the transit center There are many routes that go through here, these include: Amtrak Amtrak runs the I-41 Thruway bus, a bus that goes between Milwaukee and Green Bay via the Fox Cities ran by Lamers Connect and through-ticketed on Amtrak.

The station is located on Ogden Avenue between Farwell and Prospect Avenues in the Yankee Hill neighborhood on the southern edge of the East Side of Milwaukee. Tour There's a bench and a schedule, and little to nothing else.  Notice about the Festival Line service The trolley itself There's not much else here.  Bus Connections There's only one connection to the MCTS bus system here, and that's the 30 bus.

The Jewish Museum of Milwaukee is also nearby, as well a...
